Chapter 460 Follow Her
As Elspeth had expected, the Instagram post attracted over 300 likes in just one minute. She had long
known that Callum had many followers on Instagram, but never did she think they would react so
quickly to the announcement. She nced through thements, which mostly expressed shock and
disbelief other than the ones that wished him a lifetime of happiness with his wife.
Aizenmented, ''What? Why get married so quickly?''
Anothermented, ''But wait, whom is he married to? Don''t tell me it''s that Jasmine McGrath whom
he dumped earlier?''
The thirdmented, ''How''s that possible? The two of them had broken up ages ago.''
''Then who could the person be?''
''I don''t know, but you don''t seem to be the person.''
''This is simply impressive! I''ve got to spread the news to the news outlets. Everyone, don''t vie with me
for this.''
''The early bird catches the worm, eh? That''s quite calcting of you, you brat.''
Thesements were followed by numerous others.
Seeing how animated thesements were, Elspeth felt rather speechless. "Have these people never
seen someone getting married before?"
Callum raised an eyebrow thoughtfully. "They''ve seen someone getting married before, but it''s rare to
see me getting married."
What a total narcissist, thought Elspeth. "Wait a minute. Why didn''t you make it public that I''m the one
you''re married to?" She looked him up and down; the instant she realized this, her countenance
changed. Don''t tell me this guy''s trying to keep our marriage a secret! But wait, won''t I be the one
keeping our marriage a secret now that he has announced on Instagram that he''s married? "Are you
forcing me into keeping our marriage a secret?" she asked. Well, this seems like a good idea. For the
time being, I can maintain my single status, which would make it easier for me to do a lot of things.
Above all else, I won''t be referred to as an ''aunt.''
Seeing Elspeth getting up to something, Callum couldn''t help but stick out a finger and tickle her nose.
"I''m doing this to protect you," he exined. After all, he had just broken off his engagement to
Jasmine. If Jasmine were to learn that he had gotten married to Elspeth so quickly, she would realize
his true purpose in going out with her back then. Judging by the McGrath Family''s personality, they
would probably do something bad to Elspeth, so it was better to keep Elspeth''s marriage to him a
secret for safety''s sake.
"You''re so thoughtful about me, huh?" Elspeth narrowed her eyes with a smile. She looked up at the
man, only to meet the man''s affectionate gaze.
"I''m afraid that something might happen to you like before, so I''ve got to protect you." Callum took her
into his arms. He patientlyforted her, saying, "I really want to make it public that you''re my wife, but
I know I have to restrain myself."
Elspeth patted him on the back. "Okay, it''s fine if you really want to make our marriage public. I can
protect myself."
Callum was pretty calm when it came to this. "It''s okay, there''s no hurry. Let me hold a grand wedding
for both of us before we make our marriage public."
However, Elspeth suddenly realized a serious issue. "Callum, why wasn''t there a marriage proposal?" I
only agreed to marry him on the spur of the moment yesterday, but how could there be no proposal?
Wouldn''t that make me seem a little too cheap?
Seeing that her face was darkening, Callum hurriedlyforted her, saying, "Okay, I''ll definitely give
you a proposal. It''s just that I was in a hurry to take you to get our marriage certificate yesterday, so I
could only trick you intoing here with me first." He was annoyed at the thought of Elspeth''s many
suitors, so he simply made up an excuse to trick her into marrying him. I had to establish our marriage
first before anything else, no?
"You tricked me?" Elspeth suddenly realized something. She instantly yanked his finger toward herself,
only to notice that the bruise on it had disappeared. "Didn''t you say you hurt your finger? Where''s the
wound?"
Seized by an overwhelming sense of oppression, Callum suddenly felt a chill down his spine. "It''s been
a long time, so the wound has healed already."
Elspeth replied with an insincere smile, "It''s been a long time, huh? It''s only been two hours. Don''t tell
me you have super-healing capabilities."
Callum feigned surprise. "I didn''t expect you to notice that."
"Callum!" Infuriated, Elspeth immediately dragged him toward the City Hall. "It''s still early now, and
we''re at the entrance to the City Hall. It''s not toote for us to get divorced."
How could Callum possibly let Elspeth divorce him after the trouble he had taken to marry her? He
stood straight without moving an inch.
Seeing how she had dragged him for a long time to no avail, Elspeth looked back furiously. At a nce,
she noticed the slightly hurt look on the man''s face. Hurt? Am I seeing things?
Callum remained silent as his Adam''s apple bobbed up and down. "Don''t divorce me." He looked just
like a 15-year-old teenage boy begging his girlfriend not to leave him.
Elspeth couldn''t tell why, but her anger dissipated at the sight of this.
On the other hand, Callum, who had been pretending to be hurt, realized another weakness of hers—
she was open to persuasion but not coercion. If one were to coerce her into doing something, she
would do the exact opposite, but if one were to use their puppy dog eyes on her and pretend to be hurt,
she would be unable to do anything about them. Hmm, seems like this is a good way to cajole her. But
if our future son dares to learn this trick, I''ll chase him to Birdia to toughen him up.
"Roger thot, Mr. Winthrop!"
Since he was still brainstorming, no one spoke for a moment, so the atmosphere quickly turned
awkward.
Thinking that she had gone too far, Elspeth tugged at his finger and asked gingerly, "Are you angry?"
Callum blinked his eyes without saying a word.
"Fine, I was only joking with you. We''re not getting divorced. How can I possibly divorce you?"
Callum stretched out his arms to signal her to hug him.
Elspeth quickly threw herself into his arms and held him tightly. Sheforted him, saying, "Sorry for
sounding a bit over the top just now. I know you just want to marry me."
"Mm-hmm," Callum mumbled, but he could hardly conceal the smile on his lips.
At this moment, however, all Elspeth cared about was how tofort him. With her head buried in his
chest, she couldn''t see his facial expression, of course, so she could only be foolishly deceived by this
deceitful man.

After making sure that Elspeth wouldn''t divorce him, Callum finally let go of her. He drove her to the
entrance of her office before preparing to drive away. Before he left, he poked his head out of the car
window and asked her, "When should I pick you up this evening?"
Suddenly recalling her appointment with Arthur, Elspeth brushed him off, saying, "I have a dinner to
attend this evening, so you don''t have to pick me up."
Dinner? Why have I never heard about that from her before? "What kind of dinner is that? Can''t you let
Harper go in your stead?" Something''s fishy with this dinner.
Elspeth replied, "The person specifically asked me to be present, saying that they''d feel more
comfortable talking to me." At this moment, she had to feign imperturbability in order not to be easily
suspected. Smart as Callum was, he would quickly figure it out if she were to give herself away by
looking panicked.
"Alright then, I''ll drive you to work tomorrow morning."
Elspeth nodded with a smile. "Okay."
After she entered her office, however, Callum narrowed his eyes; a bad feeling suddenly crossed his
mind. He made a phone call and ordered calmly, "Connor, follow my wife around this evening. Keep her
safe and see where she''s going while you''re at it."
"Roger that, Mr. Winthrop!"
